FROM START TO FINISH

Model Name:- Kristina Jones


I had a 'Pre-Thanksgiving Music Festival' to attend in Arkansas with Featured artist such as DorroughPaul Wall and Blais. So I figured since I am away from home, I may as well network. Upon network and staying in Arkansas, the awesome Kristina Jones was the first say let shoot. And here we are about to discuss the 'START TO FINISH' of this shot.

Location Arkansas, Place at a school for Nuns. With the Nikon D80 mounted with the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, a wireless trigger, a soft box and portable battery pack. I was armed to shoot. Whenever I use a off camera flash source, I always set my camera to manual. So with the ISO at 400, F stop at F/8, and the focal length set to 45mm. I fire the shot and came up with this image.

Upon looking at the image in Photoshop CS5, I realized that there were tombstones and some trash in the background, which I circled in yellow. The green lines under her eyes and chin was a indications for me to lighten them in my Editing process. The red was to reduce the hair stragglers let loose in the wind.

After it's was all said and done. I came away with this image. Do let me know what you think of it with comment, Thanks in advance. Click on the image to view the Correct aspect ratio.

The Lens of Choice



Hernan Rodriguez (www.hernanphotography.com) used a slightly updated version of Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 Lens for a photo session with comedian/ celebrity Eddie Griffin.

Tamron has made an awesome lens, it never leaves my camera body. I use mines a lot for portraiture, night life work. This Lens is truly worth ever rank of mines to be in your camera bag.





Tamron AF18-270mm VC zoom lens is designed for digital SLR cameras. Incorporates Internal Focusing.
